Chapter 138: The Rabble
The group of orc robbers was pausing to recuperate and build a campfire, and another orc bandit bared his fangs and kept looking at the injured and weakened leader Benson who was tied to the side.
Although the number of orc bandits was less than ten, less than the average number of adventurers, Loki did not dare to underestimate these guys.
The spatial visual image collects some orc movements, and quickly sorts out the general data, generally adult orc bandits, strength ≥ 1.6, physique ≥ 1.5, agility may not be as good as humans, but the comprehensive attributes are at least equivalent to the strength of a level 5 apprentice.
Some individual orc robbers, in terms of physical strength, are not even much worse than ordinary professionals, although they lack armor, but from the adventurers, they have seized a lot of broadswords, spears and other sophisticated weapons.
The members of Iron Shield and the Forest Ranger Adventure Group quickly got the news and quietly approached from behind, and learned the situation from the half-elves.
......
The bound head of Benson was a little pale, and his waist was pierced by arrows.
Fortunately, the arrow has not been pulled out, and he will not bleed to death for a moment, but this is not the kindness of the orcs.
A foul-smelling orc robber licked his newfound knife, then walked over to the captive human, pondering how to cut off the piece of meat and roast it.
There were a few soft 'buzz' sounds, and a vigilant orc robber realized that something was wrong.
Danger, a black shadow in the afterglow, the orc didn't have time to dodge, his intuitive neck hurt, and then a stream of heat lay down.
At the same time, there were also the orcs around Captain Benson, because the distance was relatively close, and the arrows did not miss all the time.
Compared to the soldiers of the Orc Empire, these orc bandits are a rabble, and their vigilance is not as good as that of ordinary adventurers.
But they are orcs after all, and most of them are strong orcs with brown skin and fangs, and all of them have a physique that surpasses that of ordinary humans.
Even if the orc robber was hit by an arrow in the neck and covered his wound, he picked up his weapon with the other hand and roared wildly.
"Kill these guys, damn orcs......"
An adventurer of some savage blood, the Nest Bear roared, raised his sturdy two-handed axe, and headed for the nearest orc bandit.
"Captain, we're up to you, and if you can go back alive, treat me to the dwarves' favorite rum. ”
The dwarven stump is not to be outdone, his weapon is also a two-handed axe, and I heard that he still bought a dwarven Seiko weapon from the Brute Hammer weapon shop.
The adventurers with the most strength in the two teams are only evenly matched with the strong orcs, and the other adventurers are usually two or three people besieging one.
Captain Benson was still tied with ropes, and he couldn't use his strength to break free from his injuries and blood loss, and the orc bandit next to him, who had been shot in the chest by an arrow, staggered to his feet again.
A 'whoosh' screeched through the air, and no one could hear the chaos of the battle.
A black shadow quickly swept by, and the orc bandit, who had just gotten up, was hit by a crossbow bolt in his eye before he could grab the weapon in his hand.
This time the shot was different from the previous one, and the speed was as fast as the crossbow bolt had been growing there. Among them, the power is even more than ordinary bows and arrows, directly penetrating the brains of orc bandits.
The orc corpse fell to the ground.
Captain Benson next to him endured the pain, rolled and picked up the dagger dropped by the orc, trying to cut the rope on his body.
Another orc robber spotted him, and as if sensing the escape of his human prey, he let out a wild roar and slashed at him with a sharp sword weapon.
It's over, I wish I could go home and see my wife and daughter again!
In the face of death, Captain Benson closed his eyes, but only one last thought remained in his heart.
'Bang!' a crackling metal thud struck the adventure leader's eardrums, and he looked up to see the orc bandits' attack obscured by a dark shadow.
It was an adventurer with a round shield, with a somewhat unfamiliar face, obviously not a member of their Iron Shield Adventure Group, but it gave him hope of survival.
Loki's face was calm and indifferent, not taking saving the hostages seriously at all, he held a titanium round shield in his left hand, and fended off two heavy blows from the orc bandits in a row.
The arm responded with a tremor feeling, and the orcs were indeed natural warriors.
Just the madness of this battle, and the power to crush ordinary people, is not something that ordinary adventurers can deal with head-on.
But with the strength of a half-elf, through hard work and talent, he has broken away from the ranks of ordinary adventurers.
The basic high-level sword and shield is 42% proficient, and the round shield skill in his hand naturally has a unique trick of blocking and unloading, even if he keeps his position still, with the strength of the titanium alloy shield, this orc is tired from defeating, and it may not be able to cause him any damage.
After all, it's just an ordinary orc bandit, and although the strength and physique are strong, they are only a little stronger than the gnolls.
With his left hand flexibly raising the round shield, Loki did not choose to block passively this time.
After feeling the shield tremble, his steps immediately flashed, and at the same time he used the war dance of a mercenary's heel.
This kind of footwork is not flashy, but it is more suitable for the adventurer mercenary class, and the degree of destruction and utility is higher.
The one-handed sword in his right hand stabbed down quickly, and the movement was just right, and the sharp blade slashed right into the knee of one of the orc bandits' legs.
The orc robber didn't feel the pain and screamed frantically.
But before the orc robber could raise his weapon again, the half-elf's one-handed sword followed the entire force of his body, and the blade turned half a circle, cutting off half of the orc's leg joints at once.
Most of the tendons, tendons and blood vessels exercised, and the orc lost the balance of one leg and fell to the ground.
Loki's right wrist flexed flexibly, and he pulled a sword flower in a fancy way, and the one-handed sword was replaced by a backhand grip, with the sharp tip pointing downward.
As he walked across the battlefield, he didn't look at the ground, but he stabbed downward in his hand.
The orc robber who was seriously injured and fell to the ground just now instinctively covered his neck, but a one-handed sword was stuck in his throat, which made him suffocate to death with blood foaming at his mouth.
The comprehensive observation of spatial vision guided him to find other orc bandit targets.
The captain of the forest guards, Quan Feng, did not rush into this advantageous battle.
Instead, he calmly raised his longbow and shot arrows on the side, supporting other adventurers from time to time, and at the same time commanding his companions in the adventure group.
The nest bear and the dwarf stump, after fighting with the orc robbers for a while, gradually grasped the advantage, and with the help of the adventurer companions next to them, they also quickly killed the orcs.
Achill and several Iron Shield companions, working together quickly, killed an orc bandit, then ran to their captain and immediately helped untie the ropes.
Izumi Feng also walked over, took out a packet of unique healing potions, and quickly applied it to the wound of Head Benson.
Captain Benson gritted his teeth and didn't say much thanks, struggling to pick up his weapon and help his fellow adventurers strangle the remaining orc bandits.
The Druid Apprentice stopped him, "Don't get up and move, your wound is very deep, and I'll use a low-level recovery technique to treat you later." ”
The orc robbers were almost unarmoured, and Loki swooped in from behind with a one-handed sword, accurately piercing the orc's heart.
Under the surprised gazes of the two adventurers in front of him, the strong chest of the orc protruded a sword tip, and then it was quickly pulled back.
The blood of the orc robbers flowed all over the place, and because of the advantage of sneak attacks and numbers, there were no casualties, at most some adventurers were slightly injured.
Nest Bear raised his heavy weapon, and with a pair of axes slashed the neck of the orc robber on the ground, he wiped the blood stains from his beard, and laughed heartily.
"Filthy orc robbers, this is what I can, and I haven't been able to cut it yet. ”
The orc bandits are almost dead, and Loki is not satisfied, he has only collected a small amount of data, which is not enough to generate a complete orc diorama.
Regardless of the cracked wound, Commander Benson struggled to get up and said, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
"There are also a number of orc robbers, who were taken away by orc scouts before, and may be planning to meet somewhere. We ......"
The Minai wolf-like beast beside Izumikaze suddenly let out a strange scream, as if sensing some danger.
The druid apprentice's face changed, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the beast's cry.
A huge gray-white shadow sprang out of the bushes and ran to pounce on a shield-wielding adventurer.
......
